To Consult With FTI Clients on a Broad Range of Business, Governmental, Labor, International, Advocacy, and Communications Issues

Baltimore, MD - January 18, 2007

FTI Consulting, Inc. (NYSE: FCN), the leading global consulting firm to organizations confronting the critical legal, financial and reputational issues that shape their futures, announced today that former Democratic Majority Leader, Dick Gephardt, would become a consultant for and advisor to the company through an exclusive agreement with his firm, Gephardt & Associates, LLC. In addition, he will serve on the advisory board of Financial Dynamics, FTI's strategic and financial communications services subsidiary.

With the addition of Representative Gephardt, FTI significantly enhances its ability to serve clients in the critical areas of government, public policy, employee and labor relations and international affairs. Resolution of issues in these areas, and the strategic communication of such resolutions to a broad range of constituencies, has the potential to impact each client throughout all of FTI's business practices. The perspective that Representative Gephardt brings as a result of his extensive experience and deep relationships throughout the U.S. and around the globe provides FTI clients with a unique resource through which to analyze their businesses, issues and strategies and then communicate them to the marketplace.

Commenting on this move, Jack Dunn, FTI's president and chief executive officer, said, “With the addition of Dick Gephardt, we continue to execute on two key aspects of our strategy. First, we continue our commitment to provide our clients with the very best in intellectual capital to support their critical business needs, particularly those in labor intensive sectors such as automotive and healthcare. Second, on a very real-time basis, we are adding highly valuable capabilities in the areas of change management and innovative labor relations, as clients strive to optimize their human capital in this era of mobile labor sourcing and a changing political environment. For this company and these times, I can't think of a better person than Dick Gephardt to help forge our direction in these areas.”

Dick Gephardt added, “I am excited to team with FTI and draw on the expertise, experience and reach of such a respected global market leader. FTI has a strong record of achieving results for its clients. We're extremely proud of the prospects of integrating Gephardt and Associates' capabilities with such a highly regarded firm.”
